Notes

I’m deprecating the share_on_mastodon_enabled hook in favor of the “new” Share Always option. (The one thing making me reconsider was that the latter did in fact support a second, poorly documented, $post_id argument, which could be used to, e.g., enable forced sharing only for certain post types. That said, don’t think anyone actually uses it.)

Here’s a quick note. This should be cross-posted to Mastodon in full.

(Very slowly) resumed work on https://feedreader.site.

So, Indigenous doesn’t let me add coordinates to replies, eh?

Some “microformats2” themes or plugins always add e-content as a “post class.” In combination with some of IndieBlocks’ blocks, which “produce” their own e-content, this leads to 2 e-contents: one which corresponds with the post as whole, and a second one which contains only the block’s children. (Microformats clients will likely just disregard one of them, so no real harm done. But you might be able to tweak your theme’s post_class filter and avoid this.)

Wow. Looks like WordPress.com got cut off from Twitter, and Brid.gy is soon following suit.

Pretty sure sharing (from WordPress) to Twitter is still possible, tho, but it’ll require a free “dev” account. That’s how I’ve always done it; where given the choice, I’d rather not rely on a third party. Guessing 10up’s Autoshare for Twitter works similarly, by the way. (Don’t use my plugin. Or, well, you could. I’m just not going to support it, ever.)

I, uh, wrote this: IndieBlocks 0.6.2 Released.

Didn’t go into too much detail; I’d rather focus on overhauling the docs.

Added the most basic h-event, h-recipe, and h-review support to IndieBlocks. (Read: If it encounters, e.g., dt-start or p-rating—all of which you’d still have to enter by hand—it’ll add one of these as a post class, rather than “just” h-entry.)

Ah, right! The Webmention plugin for WordPress defines a number of “comment types” (like, repost, etc.), which get stored in the comment_type field. Tbh, I always thought it labeled all of them as “just” webmention.

IndieBlocks treats all mentions as “just comments” but stores type info in a custom field, which makes querying a bit of a pain. Except, I … have always displayed them as just comments, see? Up until now, that is, with the new Facepile block.

Reinstalled the (10-year-old) Pi, MPD and mpdscribble. Should be “posting” quite a few more “listens” now. I’ve had two pots and (I think) an MCP3008 since just about forever, for “hardware controls.” Don’t think these’ll ever get installed anymore. 😅

Working on a Facepile “theme” block for IndieBlocks, which would show a post’s “like,” “bookmark,” and “repost” webmentions. Doesn’t support the Webmention plugin, yet. (It does work with IndieBlocks’ webmentions, which use a slightly different set of custom fields, etc.)

Cigar is my new favorite band I’d never heard of.

In my defense: I kind of stopped “discovering” (i.e., caring about) new music somewhere around ’99. (There’s exceptions, of course.)

Pushed v0.12.1 of Share on Mastodon yesterday. It can now be “tricked” into cross-posting video and audio (from WordPress’ media library to Mastodon) as well. Quick example: https://gist.github.com/janboddez/5c6a69ca603d42b53904f7af6b2ad030 Disclaimer: File type and size limitations apply.

Updated “Share on Mastodon.” Merged some “last minute” changes, and thereby skipped the long-promised v0.11. 🤷 (I so hope nothing broke.)
